Wire up RTL8723DS chipset support using the rtw88 SDIO HCI code as

On my Lichee RV Dock board this patch is enough to make The RTL8723DS
work. But unfortunately after running some time the driver crashes.
My impression is that the crash is not specific to my patch but must
be hidden in one of the existing functions it is invoking.

This seems to be related to not checking pkt_stat->pkt_len.

My kernel was built against v6.4-rc6.

Heinrich,

Martin Blumenstingl has written a driver for the 8723ds chip. It has been merged into the wireless-next tree, and will be in mainline kernel 6.5. In addition, it is available at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88.git.

Please try it to see if it files your crash problem. Several users of rtw88 have reported success.
